the good thing about hdd { which is also an advantage of them over ssd} is that you may lose it due to controller problems , but most of its data on the platters are still there and if you find a similar drive , then you can swap and recover data very easily. it will be very cheap if you do yourself or have someone you know who works in data recovery business.

but yes. it may be as the posts above said. your drive is at the end of its natural life. may it soon find rest in peace..lol
